Questions?

Before you begin the reservation process:

Select 4 possible dates* for your field trip. Check school calendars for any potential conflicts, and contact your bus company to check transportation availability before making your reservation. *Mondays are reserved for Preschool, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade only.

Select the show(s) you would like to see.

Determine the total number of students, teachers, and adult chaperones in your group. If your final head count changes, please contact us before submitting payment (due TWO weeks prior to your visit). Changes to your reservation cannot be made less than TWO weeks prior to your visit. Members added to your group on the day of your visit will be charged full price admission and show fees. All same-day admissions and show tickets are based on availability.

Full payment is due TWO weeks before your visit. No deposit is required at the time of booking, unless you are visiting less than two weeks from the time of scheduling (in which case full payment is due at the time of scheduling).

If payment is not received within TWO weeks of your visit, your reservation will be canceled.
